WITHEM: Norwegian Progressive Metal Act Signs With Sensory Records

Wednesday, June 19th, 2013

Sensory Records welcomes Norwegian progressive metal quintet WITHEM to the label’s roster, as the up-and-coming act prepares to release their debut full-length late this Summer.

Inspired by the likes of Symphony X, Pagan’s Mind, Dream Theater and Circus Maximus, WITHEM formed in 2011, their music offering varied sonic landscapes for the listener to explore, whether with its elaborate interplay between all musicians or with straightforward power metal anthems. With a solid online fanbase and several stellar live performances in Oslo and beyond already under their belts, the band has completed their debut album which caught the ear of the prog aficianados at Sensory/The Laser’s Edge, who immediately brought the band on board for the release of the new opus.

The passion and dedication put into WITHEM’s debut, The Point Of You, is emphasized by the countless hours spent in studio perfecting each individual performance and making sure that the end result is a world class blend of progressive, symphonic power metal, with over fifty minutes of thrills and melody-driven songs, without drifting into the clichés of overly long instrumental sections and sheer complexity for complexity sake. Based on the first impact made by the album teasers and demo tracks, expectations are running high within the progressive and power metal scene.

Stay tuned over the coming weeks as the title, artwork and additional details on WITHEM’s debut are released.

In other recent news, MUMAKIL has unleashed several other doses of depravity through an animated lyric video for “Wrong Turn” at the Relapse Youtube page, as well as the track “Army Of Freaks” via a label podcast at Metal Injection, or with the audio premiere of “Death from Below” alongside a set of writer and fan-based interview questions at American Aftermath, and most recently, the a video for “Death From Below” at Invisible Oranges.

With several European shows and festival dates pending for the Summer months, more tour plans are to be divulged in the very near future; you have been notified, now let’s see if you’ll heed the warnings.

“Apparently based around themes of mankind’s incessant will to destroy itself, and utilizing themes such as war, deception, pain and anger, Flies Will Starve may consider itself the ideal soundtrack for the way many people feel about the world around them today. 8/10” – Ghost Cult

“Mumakil has gone for a very modern production style that emphasizes intensity but cleans up the sound a bit, making the bass drum completely tear through the wall of sound and hit you right in the chest.” – Cosmos Gaming

MAMMOTH GRINDER Drops Single From Pending Third LP Via Invisible Oranges

Wednesday, June 19th, 2013

Texas firing squad MAMMOTH GRINDER are preparing to unleash hell with their third LP, and first in nearly four years, with the crushing Underworlds, scheduled for public execution via 20 Buck Spin on July 23rd. The bulldozing album aggressively rips up nearly thirty minutes of material with ten new anthems which expose the band’s most virulent strain.

Today MAMMOTH GRINDER cast their first live rounds at the public with the first single from Underworlds with a premiere at Invisible Oranges. “Paragon Pusher” surges with an aggro, midpaced d-beating circle pit pounding for the first half of the track, jacked-up with a twitchy riff that leads directly into a classic Entombed/Carcass-inspired transition then directly into the closing breakdown. Gnarly. Brutal. Crucial.

Unload “Paragon Pusher” at Invisible Oranges HERE.

MAMMOTH GRINDER will take their thunder down under in late July into early August on a run of Australian dates alongside Innumerable Forms. Immediately upon their stateside return they’ll tear a hole in the West Coast US with a four-city run, including shows with Black Breath, Early Graves and a spot on the massive The Power Of The Riff joining The Obsessed, Final Conflict, From Ashes Rise, Hirax, Black Breath, M.D.C., Iceburn, Bastard Noise, Dead In The Dirt and more. View the itinerary below and watch out for stateside tour updates in the coming weeks.

MAMMOTH GRINDER Australian Tour:
7/26/2013 The Tote – Melbourne [info]
7/27/2013 Animal House – Adelaide [info]
7/28/2013 Gasometer – Melbourne [info]
8/01/2013 The Potbelly – Canberra [info]
8/02/2013 The Square – Sydney [info]

8/08/2013 Catalyst Atrium – Santa Cruz, CA w/ Black Breath, Obliterations
8/09/2013 The Echo – Los Angeles, CA @ Power Of The Riff [info]

Underworlds marks a peak at which MAMMOTH GRINDER have sharpened and perfected their sound into a seething grind/death/thrash maelstrom of intense degree; unrelenting in its concentrated raw precision and focused power, Underworlds careens violently through ten tracks with effortless versatility and the fixated songcraft expected of a band on their third record. The album’s cover artwork was crafted by the legendary Joe Petagno who has worked Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Motörhead, Marduk and countless others.

IDES OF GEMINI Premieres “Starless Midnight” Video Via Cvlt Nation

Tuesday, June 18th, 2013

Following a wildly victorious tour alongside cult metal sorcerers, Ghost B.C., Los Angeles’ favorite ethereal doom dealers IDES OF GEMINI today unveil a brand new video for the track “Starless Midnight” via Cvlt Nation. The ghostly tune comes by way of the trance-inducing trio’s Constantinople full-length, released through Neurot Recordings last Spring.

Elaborates guitarist J. Bennett “We shot this video in the middle of nowhere during an off day on the Ghost B.C. tour. It was directed by our friend Daciana Birladeanu, a Romanian sorceress who also happens to be my cousin. The process basically consisted of me complaining for eight hours while the girls did all the work. But at least I got to wear my Shriner belt buckle. Enjoy!”

Adds Cvlt Nation: “This visual is a nuanced visual journey through one of my favorite songs off the album. Like their music, it is bleak and dreamy at the same time, and although shot in black and white there is a warmth to it of fire and human body.”

Lose yourself in “Starless Midnight” at THIS LOCATION.

IDES OF GEMINI’s Constantinople is a true transcendental doom masterwork. Applauded by Outburn “depressing dynamics topped by ethereal wonderment,” and called, “…a dirg-y doom crawl of an album…,” by Decibel, the record continues to raise the eyebrows on the non-initiated. Purchase Constantinople at THIS LOCATION today!

“..darkly beautiful..” – Pitchfork

“Their accretion of small musical gestures inverts metal’s normal use of space. They imply terror without ever exposing it. Each song is an accumulation of outlines, a sort of sonic daguerreotype.” – MetalSucks

“Processional doom, ethereal female harmonies and high-strung riffs incite head-bowing, not –banging…” – Spin

“…a proverbial treasure chest in terms of atmosphere, ideas and contrasting musical textures…original and breathtaking.” – About.com

BLACK TAR PROPHET: Despondent Sludge Duo Signs To Domestic Genocide

Tuesday, June 18th, 2013

Driven by chemical despondency and the liberation of low-end audio scum, Nashville-based gruesome twosome BLACK TAR PROPHET has confirmed that their pending second LP will see release via D.I.Y. noisemongers Domestic Genocide.

Bearing a noxious brew of fuzz and misery-powered fuckcrush akin to Bongzilla, Buzzov*en, Weedeater, Noothgrush and the like, yet void of any vocal contributions, it’s pretty obvious from opening note to crushing closing of every track what the instrumental act is focused on; playing purely pummeling auditory filth with corrosive drugs coursing through it all.

Since their 2011 convergence the duo BLACK TAR PROPHET has soiled the lands with a rash of demo releases, and in 2012 released both a one-song/forty-two minute album called Note To Nod, and a split with Atlanta act Crawl, with a lineup shift happening the same year amidst the plethora of recordings coming into existence. They’ve endured tours of the Southern US states, and have tore up local venues with countless regional acts including Order Of The Owl, Backwoods Payback, Before The Eyewall, Crawl, Gorgantherron, Ponykiller, Motherplant and many more. The band will focus on intoxicating more audiences in the live setting over the rest of 2013 as they conjure and capture the material for their new full-length which will see release in early 2014 via Domestic Genocide.

In the meantime, BLACK TAR PROPHET will continue to bring the pain live. The newest batch of tour dates will begin this Friday, June 21st as the band begins burning through clubs across through ten cities in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Georgia. On August 24th they’ll take part in Doom At The Beach II in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with Halmos, Crawl, Dead Southern Bishop, Heathen Bastard, Snake Oil, Greenseer, Grim Creeper, Compel, Tripping The Mechanism and more. Additional tour dates will follow as they’re confirmed.

BLACK TAR PROPHET Tour Dates:
6/21/2013 Checkpoint Charlie’s – New Orleans, LA
6/22/2013 The Trial Bar – Monroe, LA [info]
6/23/2013 Rudyard’s British Pub – Houston, TX [info]
6/24/2013 Taqueria El Picante – Ft Worth, TX [info]
6/25/2013 Big D’s BBQ Shreveport – Shreveport, LA [info]

TWITCHING TONGUES: Video From Los Angeles Quintet Premieres At Revolver

Tuesday, June 18th, 2013

Standing alone, with an amalgam of influences from a plethora of genres within the contemporary extreme underground scene yet bowing to nobody, is Los Angeles-based quintet TWITCHING TONGUES.

Relentlessly savage, utterly memorable, and at all times compelling, the sophomore LP from TWITCHING TONGUES takes all of this devotion to the next level. With nearly forty minutes of uncompromising crossover fury, In Love There Is No Law melds elements of Carnivore, Obituary, Celtic Frost, Life Of Agony, Sam Black Church, elder Cro-Mags and Sheer Terror into an instantly mesmerizing, morose and wholly distinctive alloy of metal, hardcore and beyond. Modernizing the works of the masters from two decades or more ago, with each hook and chorus the band’s punishing and primitive stylings grow more memorable than the last and will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression upon a solitarily listen. In Love There Is No Law was recorded, produced and mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit, then mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, and will see release on August 20th via upstate New York-based Closed Casket Activities.

Preceding the release of the LP, this week TWITCHING TONGUES and Closed Casket release a brand new 7”/digital single for the title track and arguably the most iconic and encompassing song on In Love There Is No Law, in addition dropping the band’s first official video, the brilliant HD visual depiction of “In Love There Is No Law” was filmed, directed and edited by Joel Perkins.

Tune in now and check out “In Love There Is No Law” through an exclusive premiere at Revolver Magazine’s web portal RIGHT HERE.

The single can be purchased digitally via iTunes, and the limited 7″ can be purchased exclusively at All In Merch.

TWITCHING TONGUES will take to the streets all year in conjunction of the release of the new LP, with a month-long European tour with Harm’s Way confirmed for late this month through the end of July, their  pending fourth American tour in the works, and more to follow. See the full list of confirmed dates below and stay tuned for further updates in the weeks ahead.

Neo-barbarians TWITCHING TONGUES have proven themselves as a hard working unit with their own goals, passing by contemporary acts on a daily basis — not only proving themselves as band with their own vision to be superseded by none, but in the end constantly producing a sound that is unarguably all their own by disregarding modern trends in metal and hardcore and coalescing into its own living, breathing, and dying entity. A 2010 formation quickly gave way to local shows in the LA area as well as a demo, which was followed by a 7” single, their first and second US tours, their first European tour, and a crushing slot on Southern Cali’s Sound & Fury Festival. 2012 was arguably even busier for TWITCHING TONGUES, as they released their debut LP Sleep Therapy as well as their Preacher Man single, toured the US for the third time, toured Europe for the second time, pounded the West Coast of the US with regional shows and two full tours, and killed audiences at massive stateside hardcore festivals including Rain Fest in Seattle and This Is Hardcore in Philadelphia.

SANNHET: Debut LP From Brooklyn Trio To See CD Release

Monday, June 17th, 2013

Following is successful vinyl/digital release in February — the maiden release from Brooklyn-based Sacrament Music — Known Flood, the debut album from trio SANNHET, is now confirmed for release on CD via Consouling Sounds.

With nearly forty-five minutes of electrified post-metal, fueled with domineering riff-building movements and intense percussive hostility, Known Flood unifies SANNHET’s lightly blackened atmospheric style, captured by Colin Marston (Krallice, Behold… The Arctopus, Dysrhythmia) and mastered by Carl Saff. The album and the band’s live performances across the NYC region supporting it have captivated fans and media alike, the band’s unique approach standing out in heavy contrast in an otherwise massively oversaturated genre. SANNHET bends genres effortlessly, and blends it together in a coherent monster of an album. 45 minutes of adventurous aural bliss pass in the blink of an eye.

Licensed directly from Sacrament Music, the CD version of Known Flood will be made available through Belgium-based Consouling Sounds, the label’s aim to put extraordinary music in the post, doom and ambient niche and sub niches into the spotlight. Set for European release on July 8th, and North American release a day later, preorders for the disc are available HERE. The album is also still available on LP and digitally via Sacrament Music RIGHT HERE.

Stream Known Flood via Vice/Noisey AT THIS LOCATION.

Locals can catch them on June 28th supporting Locrian at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, home to Sacrament Music. Stay tuned for more SANNHET live/tour dates to be announced in the coming weeks.

SANNHET live:
6/28/2013 Saint Vitus Bar – Brooklyn, NY w/ Locrian [info]

“…Sannhet’s tools are dynamics and texture, deployed over simple melodic arcs… Instru-metal succeeds when it remember that it’s metal.” – Decibel

“…soaring post-rock with elements of black metal tremolo-picking, hardcore, and more. Think Russian Circles meets Altar of Plagues.” – BrooklynVegan

“Sannhet mix pristine post-rock with dirty noise and hardcore, and it wouldn’t be wrong to affix the word ‘blackened’ to the overall sound.” – Pitchfork

“…the blackened, atmospheric, post-rock of this mostly instrumental trio draws you in, sucks you away and spits you back out on an opposing shore like an invisible but potent riptide lurking just underneath the surface.” – MetalSucks
